The C. & L. Railroad swore out the warrant. It appears that two bales of cotton, one of them long staple, were recently missed from the station platform at Ruby. At about the same time William Adams uppeared in Cheruw with two bales of cotton for sale. When a buyer examined the cotton and discovered that one of them was 1 long staple Adams seemed much surprised that his load was so valuable. This created an impression that all ' was not well and the banks were notified to delay in cashing the checks. 1 Telephonic inquiry soon disclosed the ' fact that two bales of cotton were missing from Ruby and that one was ' long staple. Officer Jacobs placed Adams under ' arrest and brought him to Chesterfield and placed him in jail. ' If you want an early oat that will ?1J ?

TAKE CARE OF COTTON v There is no excuse for the immense losses sustained every year from the ^ rotting of lint cotton. The farmer and the cotton buyer should prevent the la rice per cent of loss caused by j dampness. The farmer should at least stand his cotton bales on edge 18 to 24 inches from the ground and f provide some kind of cover to keep j( them dry. The cotton buyer and others should protect the cotton from rain while in their possession.?The y Progressive Farmer. t NOTICE 't To Teachers and Trustees of Chester?. i . held County: Friday, the 14th, has been set aside as School Day by the Chesterfield County Fair Association, and designated as a holiday by the County s Board.

Laney, Atty. i FAIR OPENS WITH BIG ATTENDANCE 1 he big fair is An! The gates .were thrown open to the public Wednesday morning and the crowds began buying tickets. The first day's receipts were far away ahead of any previous exhibition and that, of course, means that the attendance of the balance of the week will break all records. The fair itself is in every sense a record breaker. More and better exhibits than have ever heretofore been entered together with the best entertainment features ever seen here are providing the crowds with solid and continuous enjoyment. The agricultural display proves Chesterfield County's right to contest for supremacy with other localities throughout the United States in the matter of stock and poultry raising add it does not take a prophet to foretell that stock ra'sing will at no very distant period be the big indus try in this county. It is indeed a pleasure to note the large number of blooded chickens and swine that in the last few years have taken the places of the old scrub stock, that was to be seen on Chesterfield County farms. The display of modern improved forage crops shows that our lands will produce this sort of crop as well as the lands which many of these products have made famous. The corn exhibit is especially fine. The big pumpkin and the big potato, both sweet and Irish, are in their accustomed places and are be-| ing admired by those who are inter- j ?sted in their production, as well as by those concerned in their consumption. | The,work of the ladies is displayed in many attractive ways. In 'act, a visit to the fair will convince the most skeptical that the fair sir: v ill j lot have to take a back seat for m 're man when it comes making an exhibit, whether they show a pice of Taney lace, a jar of preserved frnit, a pound cake, a mince pie or whc her they serve a hungry male with a ham *andv/ich and a cup of stean ing coffee. And then there are the Famous Broadway Shows! The Fair Association was fortunate in securing this mammoth organization as the entertaining factor. I'he tented booths, galleries and theitrcs of this aggregation complete-: y fill all the available space within j he grounds and every attraction is >ne of merit. There are some old priends among them, such as the Fer- j ris wheel and the Merry-go-round;' iut what fair would be complete j vithout them? The wild animal menageries, train-j ;d animal exhibitions, illusions, ilantation singers and the fortune i .oiling queens are all the best of their lass. Everything about the shows las a clean and respectable appearince. The band is one of the best ind furniahes.no small part of the general amusement. It is a hand of. musicians and not the usual "ballyhoo" noise-making wind-jamnu rs employed by carnival companies. Of the free shows, the educated horse, Carolina King, attracts the major part/ of the attention. This beautiful animal, which was educated and trained by I)r. J. J. Pollard, of Winnsboro, created a furore of excitement when he entered the arena and bowed to the audience with as much grace and apparent under standing as the average human actor. From that time until his closing bow the attention was rapt and the applause generous. Among other things Carolina King kneels for his rider. Dr. Pollard, to mount and dismount. He sea-saws, impersonates an oriental dancer, does the "cork-screw," lies down and plays sick, marus time to music, dances the fo\ trot and seems to comprehend any command his master wishes to give hint Carolina King was bom a id raised in Winnsboro and is owned by the Pollard Medicine Company, of ;hat place. There was so much to see on Wednesday that the crowd kept moving, each minute being attracted by some new contrivan v*s or exhibition rt? ?i ' noil for amusement purpose e only. For instance there is a new I inri of whirligig contraption calloil "The Whip" that furnishes no end of amusemerft to those who ride- and to those who watch those who ride*. The writer stood for sometime watching the expressions of wonder, fright and mirth, all trying to break through at once, on the countenances of thus" who for the first time were hold enough to try a ride on this exhilarating machine. When such staid business men as Messrs C. ('. Douglass, P. M. Therell and VV. (J. White, ,1r., clamored into this contraption and so far forgot the cares of business as to laugh and roar like the school kids that they once were, it struck us that the inventor of "The Whip" not only had a noodle on him for getting the money, hut was something of a benefactor to the human race as well. And that's the way it goes, J ' v.? itoWFriHl I*. . The fair is a success and Chester, field County should be proud of i( 1 and will be. 1 There are other interesting exhibits, such as a complete Delco (fightiiifr System in operation, the Navy Recruiting Kxhibitions of (Suns, Torpedoes and l?ijr weapons used to sirrk German Submarines. And many more besides. Aviator Merrill did not arrive on 1 Wednesday, but either he or another of F. K. Young's famous flying men will be on hand Thursday, Friday and Saturday, to give exhibitions of dare| devil flying and to take up passengers who wish to look upon Chesterfield County from on high. Aviator Merrill left Chester for Chesterfield in the rain on Tuesday. By the time he was over Chesterfield .he clouds were so dense that he could not see the earth. He was oblidgod to continue in the air until an opening appeared m the clouds below him. He imediutely sought a place and made a landing in a cotton field. This proved to be near McBee. In landing Mr. Merrill's plane was slightly damaged and it was this mishap that prevened his being in Cheserlield on Wednesday. The home office was at once comntnni/?nf/"' --?' 11 ...H.a.vnovu Willi uiki u uyer whs . nt out with the parts necessary to put Merrill's machine in commission. In case they fyil to jrcit Merrill in snapi to lly, the other flyer will come on to Chesterfield and take Mr. Merrill': place.

Hurst-Str L - . | SUPERVISOR CONVINCED OF NEED FOR GOOD ROADS Supervisor Knight recently gave ^ expression to some very sane views regarding the building and maintaining of roads in Chesterfield county. In Mr. Knight's opinion, and his * experience should (|ualify hini to give a sound one, our present methods of road maintainancc are of little use in these days of heavy and fast traffic. Mr. Knight has recently made many experiments in repairing Chesti rlield county roads and has carefully noted the results. The mixture of sand and clay that years ago was considered ideal for road construction will not stand up under the traffic of to-day. For present and future uses gravel or crushed stone or concrete must be provided to make a lasting road. Everything else has been tested and all have failed. The present method of scraping a road and filling the ruts with sand or clay is almost a waste of time. A road so treated will wash out with the first rain, or if there is a continued dry spell, will wear out under the grinding movement of automobile tires. Where there is a heavy crust of day over soft sand the trucks break the crust and the lighter machines throw out the sand, so that dangerous holes are formed in so :hovt a time in so many different localities that the road force is unable to even keep posted on all such places, let alone to keep them repaired. And the automobile and the automobile truek are not the only destroyers of our roads. The narrow tired farm wagon does more damage <o our roads than is generally thought. During the busy hauling season now on wagons with 1 V4 inch tins are frequently loaded with from one to two tons of cotton or seed and hauled for miles. These narrow tires are like knife blades and almost invariably cut ruts in roads that previously had stood the strain. Mr. Knight is of the opinion that the time will come when all vehicles will have to be tired in accordance with the heaviest load they are capable of hauling. Mr. Knight does not attempt to prophesy when these matters will receive the attention of the people who will profit most hv their hniricr r< r.-.., died, hut he is confident that one day the entire people will awaken to the useiessiu'ss of trying to maintain roads without expense, his experience t? aching "him that such a method is, J :?i the end, the most expensive of all, ! BAPTIST CONVENTION IN COLUMBIA j The Baptist State Convention op| ened its l?'.)th annual meeting at CoI lunthi:; last Tuesday, with the largest i.ttendanee in the history of these i meetings. Rev.
